Force of Nature

Aaron makes dinner for Carmen at his flat. When she points out how spartan and spare his place is, he reveals that after his last girlfriend moved out, he never replaced the furniture that she had taken with her. When she asks him about his relationship with his late father, Aaron explains that his father had been distant and uncommunicative and that their relationship soured many years ago when his father moved the family to the city. Carmen points out that Aaron is also distant and uncommunicative. She argues that the two probably had more in common than Aaron realized. Their chat is interrupted by a call from Sergeant King, who states that the cabin has been located.

The women continue to bicker. They are out of food, and the rain douses their campfire. Alice grows increasingly combative and accusatory and angrily tells the others that she plans to walk out in the morning.

Aaron speaks with Bree, who has been released from the hospital. She asks him about the cabin, Kovac, and the possibility that someone else had been using the cabin recently. She also tells Aaron that it sometimes felt as though they were being watched; she hints that perhaps someone had been watching them and surmises that this unknown person might have seen Alice walk away from the cabin alone.
